I echo other's sentiments that the council isn't really the right body
to make determinations about these kinds of things, and note that you
didn't champion this topic in the council meeting in which you added
this topic to the agenda. During the meeting, the council noted that
there existed concerns that were not addressed before the topic was
brought to the council. I think a lack of consensus is fine, but the
council shouldn't be expected to have discussions which should be
happening on the mailing lists beforehand, don't you agree?
